Our recreation sites

Seqwater dams, lakes and parks offer great opportunities to enjoy a number of recreation activities – but it's important to play it safe in and around these lakes.

Know the rules, only use designated areas and stay out of exclusion zones. These areas have been established for the safety of all visitors. Designated areas are clearly marked with signs or buoys on the water.

Seqwater lakes and surrounding catchments are home to a variety of flora and fauna. Choosing to recreate in these areas means you could be exposed to natural hazards such as animal bites, insect stings and uneven ground.

Our recreation areas are also subject to regular change from weather events, seasonal cycles and other events such as planned burns.

Only swim in designated swimming areas. Swimming near the dam walls, in the spillway, in weirs or fast flowing waterways is fatal. There are no lifeguards on duty at our designated swimming areas. Our rangers regularly patrol these sites but they can’t be everywhere to help you.

Boating near the dam walls, in the spillway, in weirs or fast flowing waterways is fatal. Don’t put your life (or the life of others) at risk.

Wearing a lifejacket can save your life. Even if you're an expert, it is always best to wear a lifejacket while using your paddlecraft. It's a lot harder to put one on in the water during an emergency.
